Tactical Research Mini-Mil Minimalist 8 inch Duty Boots

They shine up nice but they still look like earth shoes. After breaking them in and my body adjusting I said to myself, "myself, good call" I will order again. I wonder if they can be resoled when the soles wear out

I did a lot of research prior to purchasing these boots in regards to fit and sizing, and ended up buying the same as my running shoes (11 M). Even with the laces drawn so tight that the eyelets touch, my feet, ankles, and calves are still swimming in this boot, not an issue that I have with Belleville 390des or 790des boots. The wide toebox I understand, but I see no reason whatsoever why they decided to make the rest of the boot so wide, it is a recipe for blisters and jacked up feet. I love the concept of the boot, I will try out a half size smaller; if that doesn't work then Im switching to the Nike SFB.

I have had these for about a month now and I have to say that if you want a boot thats light and durable, buy these! I have a limited background in the Martial Arts. I feel that I can better imploy these skills when wearing these boots.

I feel agile when I have these on and less likely to trip or fall. I work long hours as mall security and while wearing these I bet I won't be outrun by shoplifters. I have been outrun before and I blame it on the bulky boots(not on me). If your looking for a boot that wont slow you down give these a try. Charley B.

Got these boots and they are good and make my feet feel good. The bottom of the boot is good still and I had them for over a years time. I feel good about the boots and would be good with another pair later

These boots are the best! They allow the wearer to retain an incredible amount of balance and speed compared to regular "clumsy" boots. Did I mention that they are comfortable? My feet leave these boots feeling refreshed at the end of each work day. -Willie

These boots are really good. They are really durable and seem like they will last forever. What I really like is how high I can jump with them. If I had to jump and grab on to something (like a ledge on a building) I would want to be wearing these boots. If I was wearing heavy boots I could miss my ledge and fall. Who knows how far that would be, because I am speculating, but its still something that I think about.

I luv these boots! I was always stumbling around in regular boots as I am NOT a graceful individual. I put these boots on and it's like they just become a part of you feet. They fit like a glove and are so comfortable. I will never buy or wear a different boot.
